Concentration risk

The exposure that comes from having too much in one asset, venue or idea.

In plain English

It includes where your funds are held, not just what you hold. Keeping everything on one exchange is a concentration of counterparty risk even if the positions are varied.

Example

An account spread across ten coins but held entirely on one venue is concentrated in that venue.
